@aenor, it's the same thing in the Philippines, many Filipinas want to have a lighter skin so they wear jogging pants , shirt or a long sleeved top to swim cause it's too expensive to get bleached just to be sun burnt again . A lot of actresses do this there . It's a normal thing there.

That's sad though. You see that in India and Pakistan too. People want lighter skin. In the West people want a tan and risk skin cancer to get it. Nobody wants what they have.
@thecryptofiend true sad - like what some anonymous guy's poem "man is a fool - when it's hot they want it cold and when it's cold they want it hot - always wanting what is not ." there's a reason behind that - Asians and some other people associate being dark to being poor. Some Orientals who have yellow skin wear sunblock and definitely don't want themselves to get dark skin when out in the sun. I got a dark skin - they call me morena or tan - in my experience - it has always worked for my favor. I love it and not planning to get poisened by getting bleached.
@englishtchrivy Well said!
